    Background and Objectives: This study aimed to investigate the impact of moderate-intensity physical exercise on serum inflammation markers and the immune system in rats that were fed a high-fat diet (HFD) with intermittent fasting. Materials and Methods: A total of 48 Wistar albino male rats were included in the study and divided into eight groups, each consisting of six rats. Group 1 served as the control group (CG), receiving a standard diet. Group 2 followed the standard nutrition program with intermittent fasting (CG + IF). Group 3 underwent exercise with a standard diet (CG + E). Group 4 underwent both a standard diet with intermittent fasting and exercise (CG + IF + E). Group 5 was fed a high-fat diet (HFD). Group 6 received a high-fat diet with intermittent fasting (HFD + IF). Group 7 followed a high-fat diet with exercise (HFD + E). Group 8 underwent both a high-fat diet with intermittent fasting and exercise (HFD + IF + E). The study lasted for 8 weeks. Results: The results of the analysis show that lymphocyte cell levels in groups HFD + IF, HFD + IF, and HFD + IF + E were higher compared to groups CG-HFD (p Conclusions: These findings indicate that moderate exercise and intermittent fasting, particularly in groups fed a high-fat diet, increased anti-inflammatory cytokine levels, and certain immune system cell counts, while decreasing pro-inflammatory cytokine levels

    In this study, the effect of experimental administration of fluorine and DMBA, alone or in combination, on rats on vascular responses was investigated. After adaptation, the rats were randomly selected and divided into 9 groups, 10 male rats in each group. While sodium fluoride was applied daily in drinking water for 12 weeks to the groups to which fluoride will be applied; on the other hand, DMBA was dissolved in sesame oil and applied to the groups that needed it, once a week for a total of 12 weeks. The groups were determined as C, SO, 1NaF, 15NaF, 30NaF, DMBA, 1NaF+DMBA, 15NaF+DMBA and 30NaF+DMBA. Tensions in the thoracic aorta were provided with phenylephrine. Then, relaxation responses were recorded by giving ACh ((10-8'-7'-6'-5)) and SNP ((10-,-9,-8,-7,)(-6)(,)(-5)) at different cumulative concentrations. In the study, it was determined that fluorine caused the vessels to contract and DMBA to relax. Concurrent exposure to high amounts of fluorine and DMBA was observed to cause vasoconstriction
